Make museum memories every second Saturday of the month with an afternoon of artmaking and in-gallery fun!

This month, we are celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month by recognizing the contributions of Asian American and Pacific Islander American artists in our museum. We will be highlighting the work Silver Upper White River by artist Maya Lin. Drop into the galleries to enjoy activities created by Walmart’s Asian Pacific Associates Network (APAN) and University of Arkansas students! You’ll chat with museum educators as they guide you through a fun hands-on activity inspired by the artwork in the galleries, then head to the studios for an artmaking activity that you can take home.

See you there!

Free, no registration required. Drop in the galleries at 1, 2, or 3 p.m.
